Tip Top Lavish Latrine Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 16:07 | Winning time: 4m 44.89s

Bertie B^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 115

12/1

Ran a career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) in December. Possibly unsuited by conditions at Ascot (23.5f, good) next time but ran poorly latest when eleventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. Drop in trip / return of cheekpieces needs to spark a revival.

Form: 3-217P0

Getaway Drumlee²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 113

10/1

Had looked promising over fences but failed to fire when pulled-up on most recent chase outing and didn't achieve much returned to hurdles at Uttoxeter last month. Down in grade but needs to bounce back.

Form: 10-32P9

Geezer Rockstar^t¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 113| DWS

13/2

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner hasn't made the impact expected in handicaps. Fared no better in first-time tongue tie over a longer trip at Taunton (23.9f) last December. Has had wind surgery since. One to note in the betting on return.

Form: P10-5PP

New Found Fame^p⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 109

10/1

Dual winner at Bangor this season, latest in first-time blinkers over a shorter trip (16.6f), typically carried head awkwardly under pressure. Should prove as effective back up in trip and can give another good account.

Form: P42141

Let Me Go Boys^t¹³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 105

16/1

Purchased for £82,000 after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February last year. Down the field in a bumper on stable debut prior to finished fourth in a pair of maidens over the winter. Could well have more to offer on handicap debut over a longer trip.

Form: 2-044

The Grey Man⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H Dickin| OR: 104

18/1

Best efforts have come on testing ground around 2m this season and found his run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick back on better ground. No surprise to see him trying this longer trip but will need to improve.

Form: 23-7136

Speiriuil³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: N J Hawke| OR: 103| D

2/1

Off the mark at Lingfield (19.5f) in November and all set to follow-up when unseating last at Huntingdon (20.6f) in January. Bounced back to form when third in a Bangor handicap (19.6f) last month. Player if she can back that up.

Form: 71U463

The Magus⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 100

10/1

Lightly-raced type showed much improved form when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 44 days ago. Open to further progress on handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 542

See The Green^p⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 105

22/1

Fairly useful on Flat for Owen Burrows and made a successful start to his hurdle career in Ludlow juvenile (15.7f) in November. Hasn't progressed in 2 runs subsequently and may have a bit to find on handicap debut over the longer trip.

Form: 146

Forecasts

Speiriuil (2/1), El Curamach (11/2), Another Fine Mess (6/1), Geezer Rockstar (13/2), Come On Nia (13/2), The Magus (10/1), Getaway Drumlee (10/1), New Found Fame (10/1), Bertie B (12/1), Let Me Go Boys (16/1), The Grey Man (18/1), See The Green (22/1)

EL CURAMACH was fourth in a particularly strong Taunton maiden last year and was duly off the mark next time out. He makes most appeal over this longer trip on handicap debut. Speiriuil bounced right back to form last time and would be a player if in the same sort of mood here, while Let Me Go Boys is unexposed and could be open to improvement on handicap bow.
